Riverside Sweeps the Stage at BPA Competition

Business Professionals of America (BPA) members at Riverside continue their tradition of unprecedented success at the regional level that includes 20 different career tech programs at 11 different schools, including Benjamin Logan High School, Graham High School, Indian Lake High School, Kenton High School, Marysville Stem Early College High School, Mechanicsburg, Tri Star Career Compact, Upper Scioto Valley High School, Vantage Career Center, and Ohio Hi-Point Career Center Riverside programs in this part of Ohio.

Riverside BPA students made 129 trips to the stage to collect their hardware for placing in the top 10 contests during a recent awards ceremony. The diverse career-tech student organization at Riverside boasts 117 members who took more than 400 contests. Thirty-nine Riverside students will be competing in state competition later in March. These students have continued to put their best foot forward to create an atmosphere of success for the Riverside program. In addition to the team and individual contests, 21 student members received their Diplomat torch award.
